Ye Lin defeated the old man and learned that he had helped devastate Southern Continent because of a supposed Heavenly Dao decree demanding blood sacrifices to expand the Ascension Gate. Ye Lin argued that the decree was actually issued by the Devourer, which seemed close to awakening, and challenged the old man to consider why the Heavenly Dao would demand such a sacrifice.

• Ye Lin overpowered the old man in their aura contest, then withdrew his aura and asked why he had acted as he did.
• The old man said the Heavenly Dao had ordered them to sacrifice living beings’ qi and blood to make room for more ascenders in the Ascension Gate.

• Ye Lin concluded that the Devourer had issued the decree and warned that it was nearing full awakening.
• The old man insisted the decree’s powerful aura proved it came from the Heavenly Dao, and Ye Lin questioned why the Heavenly Dao would use blood sacrifices to enable ascension.

After Wang challenged his authority, Ye Lin overwhelmed him and demanded that he summon the leaders of the other transcendent factions, leaving Wang intimidated and more willing to comply.
